Barely over one year into her professional basketball career, Angel Reese has clearly established herself as one of the most dominant rebounders in the WNBA. 

Still, there are critics, but Reese is not afraid to address them directly.

After being drafted as the No. 7 overall pick out of LSU, she was selected to the WNBA All-Star Game as a rookie. Her case was strengthened her immediate impact on the glass for the Chicago Sky, averaging a league-leading 13.1 rebounds per game mark at the end of the 2024 season.

On Tuesday against the Connecticut Sun, Reese became the fastest player to reach 30 career double-doubles (42 games) in WNBA history. She is also the fastest player in league history to reach 500 rebounds and 500 points in a career (38 games).

In total, 217 of the 552 rebounds in Reese's career have come on the offensive glass. 

Some critical fans created the term "Mebounds" to describe the way that Reese, who sports a career field goal percentage of 38.6 percent, often inflates her rebounding totals by grabbing her own missed layups at the rim.

The 23-year-old, who had to fight tears  this week when teammate Ariel Atkins acknowledged the "heavy crown" she wears, has heard the term. Her reaction might surprise you.

"Whoever came up with the ‘mebounds’ thing, y’all ate that up," she said in a video to her 5.6 million followers on TikTok. "Anything that comes off that board, it's mine.”

She took the slanderous term in stride, calling it a "six-figure" idea while talking confidently about her rebounding abilities.

"The trolling, I love when y'all do it," she admitted. "The ideas be good!"

Reese continues to show strength on and off the court despite being one of the most heavily-criticized players in the WNBA. 

Though the Sky are off to a 2-7 start to the season, she is averaging 10.3 points, 11.8 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.6 steals per game. 

Chicago will look for its third win of the season against the 2-7 Connecticut Sun on Sunday at noon ET on CBS.
